Jodie became a part of this fabulous group of women while working with children and families at a therapeutic foster care agency. While she enjoyed her work there, she left to go back to school and pursue another career. She is currently a massage therapist and entrepreneur- loving her job. She lives in a small NY town with her husband and her teenage daughter, where she serves on her school’s board of education. In her spare time, Jodie enjoys performing with Luminosa, a Colorguard based out of Buffalo, NY.

Mary has spent her career in the service of others. Above all else, she values her integrity and strives to see the humanity in all people; As the saying goes, “It’s a practice, not a perfect.” She considers herself a lifelong learner and will say “yes” to any opportunity. Mary is most at peace hiking quietly in the thick woods along a footpath in the company of Carl, her husband and best friend, and their dog, Ella.

Tracy Wolfe is a facilitator, strategist, author, and longtime mission-based leader who has spent more than two decades creating spaces where people can learn, connect, and grow together. Her work has centered on women, young people, nonprofit leaders, and communities, with a particular love for group dynamics, experiential learning, and the sometimes-messy process of figuring out what comes next. Tracy is the author of Women Gathering and Growing with TEA, a book born from nearly two decades of gathering women through TEA-The Empowering Alliance. Part memoir, part guide, it explores what can happen when women intentionally create community, challenge each other, try new things, and make room for their own growth. Originally from a tiny rural community in Western New York, Tracy still believes some of life's best learning happens around a table, on an adventure, or in a really good conversation — which is pretty much how Spill the TEA came to be.
